Combi-Alu & Combi-Alu + Outward Opening Windows Combi-Alu & Combi-Alu + Outward Opening Windows

Combi-Alu windows are now specified on a regular basis across the construction industry due to the attractiveness of not only a maintenance free solution, but also for improved thermal, acoustic and aesthetic qualities over all aluminium alternatives.

These factors make it a very popular choice on many large projects for commercial and residential use, but also for domestic use on individual homes for both new build and renovation. With enhanced security options to provide compliance with Secured by Design, and many additional glazing options for safety or comfort, this system caters for the whole market, and is available at a very competitive price.

2. The glazing unit is embedded into the sash by 15mm, improving thermal insulation.

3. Aluminium box sections preserve the life of timber, and ensure a maintenance free product.
